Tour description
Nice is the glamorous capital of the French Riviera, but beneath its palm-lined boulevards lies a warm, sun-drenched old town with a distinctly Italian soul. On this walking tour, a local guide will lead you through Nice's layers of history, from its origins as a Greek and Roman settlement to its heyday as a winter retreat for European aristocracy.
You will stroll through the ochre-hued alleyways of Vieux Nice, visit the famous flower and produce market, and take a leisurely walk along the legendary Promenade des Anglais beside the glittering Bay of Angels. With its blend of French elegance and Mediterranean flair, Nice is a wonderful destination to explore on foot.
